Considering the following hardware for a FreeNAS server that will be used to serve up shared directories to around 40 users, though with only approximately 10 at a time reading/writing small files, such as MS Word or Excel documents. The drives will be 6-3TB drives and the pool will be setup as ZFS Raidz-3. No VMs at this point.
Intel Core i5-9400F Desktop Processor
MSI Z390-A PRO LGA1151 motherboard
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 RAM (I'm planning on installing 2 of these, bringing RAM to 32GB)
EVGA GeForce 210 1024 MB DDR3 Video Card (nothing fancy, just to drive a monitor when needed)
Seagate BarraCuda Internal Hard Drive 3TB SATA 6Gb. (again, will have 6 of these)
The case will not be anything fancy, just something to hold all the drives and components.
One thing I'm wondering is if the i5-9400F will be ok with parity calculations for ZFS Raidz-3.
